A Spanish nurse who defeated the deadly virus of Ebola is now asking for €150,000 (£117,781) in compensation for defamation, Spanish newspaper La Vanguardia reported.

Teresa Romero Ramos, from Madrid, tested positive to the virus after she assisted two Spanish missionaries who returned from Sierra Leone, one of the three West African countries worst hit by the disease.
